    ***4.5 STARS*** I cannot believe I forgot to write a review on this location of Liliha Bakery (LB), located in Ala Moana, the 3rd location of its current 6 locations island wide. They opened in 2019 after taking over longtime previous tenant of Alan Wong's Pineapple Room located on the 3rd floor of Macy's. I've dined at this location a couple of times, most recently when a college buddy and his family came back to Oahu since their last visit in March 2022. During that visit I recall their best meal of the Hawai'i trip was at the Nimitz location of LB. It was a no brainer to have suggested meet up at LB but at this location given that they were staying at nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village. My buddy and his family arrived before I did and snagged a table. I was caught in traffic and arrived shortly after the agreed time. A huge plus of this location is the ample parking on premise. It was a weekday late afternoon and had no issues of securing a parking stall nearby. The restaurant was crowded upon arrival. At first glance I saw a good mixture of tourists and kamaaina. It was quite noisy as many conversations were going on so it was challenging to hold a conversation. My buddy and I used the initial interaction catching up with each other that we didn't pay attention to the menu and had asked our waiter to give us more time. After a disappointing experience at LB with paper thin grilled mahi mahi, I opted for the fried chicken this time around. After ordering we were delivered LB's iconic grilled butter rolls with the ever so bright fuchsia colored jelly. This was table favorite as my buddy's daughter and her friend chowed down. Majority of the table ordered the teriyaki chicken that must have hit the spot as all 3 dining mates cleaned their plates. One of the girls got the bacon cheeseburger that was impressive and seemed like a winner as she almost ate the whole massive burger. My fried chicken was a winner. Chicken was served piping hot, juicy and flavorful. I really enjoyed the sides of fried rice upgrade and potato salad, but not a fan of the buttered corn. For dessert, we opted to select things from the limited options of their display case at the bakery section as most of the items were cleaned out. Service was not bad as our server was responsible for several large parties but he did make his way back to our table to check up on us. Overall, decent experiences at Ala Moana's LB where I'd be game for return visits. Great convenient location with ample parking, tasty food and baked goods. Just remember to come early to their bakery as you'll get punished with a limited selection to choose from if you go late in the day.

    Because we stayed nearby at the Ala Moana Hotel, it just made sense to start our day with a hearty local breakfast that always hits the spot, Liliha Bakery (inside of Macy's on the 3rd floor with Main entrance via Mountain Side Parking lot). They open Sunday-Thursday between 7-8 PM and Friday-Saturday until 9 PM. They have a cute bakery connected to the restaurant with their Famous Rolls, Cakes, Cookies, Loafs, and not to mention those Famous Cream Puffs! Remember to take a # if you want to grab some goodies. We arrived around 9:15-25 AM on a Monday morning with no wait time whohoo! If you arrive on a busy day, you can expect to wait a half an hour or more. The staff are on point so they try their best to clean quickly to get you and your party seated. My friends and I all got a savory dish and 3 of the 4 of us shared a sweet. A few got Hot Coffee which they got refilled throughout and I got myself an OJ. My friends annihilated their breakfast dishes from a Vegetable Omelet, to the Country Style Omelet, Kim Chee Fried Rice and my Garlic Fried Rice. My Garlic Fried Rice was delicious with fresh carrots and onions throughout. You can't go wrong with Portuguese Sausage as your protein of choice. Each dish came with a side of greens which made it even more fresh and well balanced. If you're hungry before even getting your meal, you get the complimentary Famous Rolls, just pure buttery goodness! I'm not a big fan of the Liliha Jelly but it honestly tastes best with even a tad bit. Overall, Liliha always hits the spot and kept me satisfied literally until late afternoon after all the shopping on Oahu.

    I came by to Liliha Bakery as recommended by a local for some local food! To my surprise, this is located inside the mall, tucked right inside Macy's. It was a short little walk from where I was staying nearby. This place was a neat treat for a wide variety of food options for dinner with breakfast served all day, woohoo! Not only the menu was huge there's also a bakery right outside the restaurant. Upon entering on in a weeknight, the baked goods were all tempting and the inside busy busy. ORDER: *Pork Belly Loco Moco with Iced Vanilla Latte Super satisfying meal, amazing! The pork belly was plentiful, along with being surrounded by the gravy and drizzling eggs on top. Juicy and tender and savory all around. As for dessert, I tried it later that night and the cream puffs are heavenly! From Matcha, to Dubai Chocolate, and Lemon- excellent and fresh tasting inside filling to out. The atmosphere here is chill, service was great, and yummy food- definitely visit worthy when in Honolulu. Loved it!

    A local fav in Hawaii, went for breakfast and we shared a loco moco. Just enough for both of us to share with a side Portuguese sausage. Server John was pleasant. Atmosphere was laid back. It wasn't too busy as we arrived about 945am. The butter roll bread was fire and the ensemada so yummy. I would recommend this place to any one. The menu has a great selection.

    Great restaurant. Staff were great and pleasant. Food-wise, very good and delicious:). Neat and nice restaurant. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor above Macy's. Parking is right in front of the resto. So drive up to 3rd.

    One of the best local foods in town. The line can be a long wait , if you haven't tried local foods this is the place to come !! Very authentic local favorites here. Very clean restaurant, parking can be crazy here since it's inside of the mall.

    GUAVA PLANTATION ICED TEA
    Maansi S.

    This location is located within the Macy's. The guava iced tea was super refreshing. The chicken karaage was good. I loved their corn The mac and cheese side was not a fave for me. I also wasn't a fan of the syrup they served with the butter roll. Overall, this is a spot where you can get seated fast and get good portioned food. The dishes I ordered missed the mark for me but I would love to go back to try more off their extensive menu.

    My friend brought me here for lunch so we could try their lunch menu. We started with the pastries and cream puffs, which were a nice treat, but I'm really glad we also tried the oxtail soup and prime rib entrees. Everything was packed with flavor. The steaks were huge, cooked well, and very flavorful. Definitely a satisfying meal and I'll be coming back to try more items from their menu. I have to say, some of the pastries were a little sweeter than I personally prefer, but I'm still glad I got to try them. The Dubai chocolate one definitely stood out and was my favorite from the bunch. Worth trying if you enjoy rich and sweet desserts.

    If you want Filipino fusion food, this is the place!!! One of the best Filipino / Hawaiian restaurant in the island!!! The people are so genuinely friendly and welcoming. They smile and very sincere! The one by Macy's is the best one I've seen and very convenient! Has a very spacious dining and the bakery is full of pastries and sweet treats just lying there on a big table for everyone to enjoy.

    Kouign-amann
    Catherine P.

    This location is very convenient and easily accessible if you are shopping at the mall. They open at 7 am which is an hour later than their original location which makes it harder to grab treats and get to work before all the traffic starts. When I get there early they have everything, but sometimes later in the afternoon they start to run out of items. One item I wanted to try was their kouign-amann and it looked good but was bit dry. I think I will stick to their poi mochi donuts which are soft and a bit chewy without being overly sweet. My daughter also loves their hotdog roll with a mayo/ketchup top. Service is always good at 7 am. I have eaten sit down meals at this location and sometimes you have to wait depending on the amount of people there. The restaurant is located within/next to Macys so you can sip while you wait. The inside is nice and bright but wish they had a better view rather than the parking lot. Parking is great unless it's the holiday times.

    One of the most popular locations, this branch is ideally situated next to Macy's at Ala Moana Center. Its convenient location, ample free parking, and easy access are definitely major attractions. However, be prepared for slower service during peak hours. We had to repeatedly ask for water refills, pancake syrup, extra napkins, and other basic items. There were plenty of servers on duty, but several seemed more engaged in chatting with one another than paying attention to customers who needed assistance. I hope this review brings these noticeable service shortcomings to management's attention. With better attentiveness and customer service, this location could provide an experience that matches its excellent location and popularity.

    Mushroom chicken
    Zander B.

    The food is so addictive and good--especially the buns --it's definitely worth a try! Mushroom chicken is so so . Service is great. Everyone is really nice and attentive, but it was really busy inside. Had to wait about 40 minutes so make sure to get there early or make reservations But charging $3 for a single bun cut in half is pretty crazy when you can down the whole thing in one bite.

    Liliha Bakery was so... hard to find LOL. We were wandering back and forth through the Ala Moana Shopping Center trying to locate this restaurant. Was it in Macy's? Next to Macy's? Google Maps showed that it was in Macy's, but we were like "there's no way lol." But after circling the perimeter a couple of times, we were like "idk let's check the inside of the Macy's." We roamed around the inside of the Macy's for a while and eventually made our way to the third floor where the women's clothing section was. We didn't actually think that Liliha Bakery would be there, but we were running out of places to look. But it was! Right there, on the third floor of the Macy's, next to the dresses, was the entrance to Liliha Bakery. The sight was a little bizarre because like why would it be there, but regardless, that's where it is.  We put our name on the waitlist through the kiosk and waited about 15 minutes for our table. Service was very nice. We all got the loco moco with fried rice. It was so good! The hamburger patty tasted like it was fresh off a charcoal grill - a little smoky with a delicious charred edge. The garlic fried rice was so good too. We all scraped our plates clean! This was probably the best loco moco I've ever had. I'll definitely have to give Liliha Bakery another visit on my next trip to Oahu... and this time, I'll know exactly where to find it!

So rich and creamy and the cherry marmalade paired so well with it. Love that they provided ample bread to go with it. I had to try the la chancla cocktail - the mayo washed mezcal caught my eye. It sounds a little strange but it was very good and was quite strong. For entrees we got the carbonara and zucchini lemon risotto. The carbonara was really rich and the Portuguese sausage added a nice touch. Looking at pictures of it beforehand I was worried the portion size would be small but it's served on a large bowl making the portion look smaller than it is. The risotto had a refreshing tangy sweetness from the lemon. Both have the option of adding on crispy prosciutto for $4. We didn't but saw some that other people ordered and it looked amazing - next time! One of the servers there provided a great recommendation with a wine pairing for the carbonara and let me try a rose before committing. It wasn't something I would normally have chosen but it worked well and I'm grateful for his helpfulness.

I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years. Before Scratch Kitchen, there was Sugar Cane, and if I reach far enough back, I'm pretty sure a Mexican restaurant lived there too. It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
